respect, i'm pleading
please don't take me back thereplease don't pull me down 'gain
please somebody out there
come & help me hear my cries
please don't hold on to me
please don't grab me too tight
please don't shout in my face
till i cry & cry & cry
i'm shouting for my future
though there's not much to see
left over down & broken
i wanna go away
into my own picture
take it as i've not been through
this torture i bore you
yet you trap me & no one sees.
i'm shouting for my future
though i shouldn't ask for more
i'm getting the respect
the one that's due & for.

this pretty old auntie was crying & i don't know if u call it shouting... & this guy was grabbing her hand and pushed her to the wall & shouted at the auntie to go back & don't act silly... i was like... i stopped for a moment, knew that i wanted to do something but in the end i didn't... then later on i don't know why i just got so emotional throughout the train ride back home... yep...*
